Skips must NOT be overloaded. Not only can this prove a problem in picking up the skip, it also poses a hazard to motorists and pedestrians, and is highly illegal. The correct way of loading is for the waste inside not to exceed the top of the walls of the skip, particularly if the waste is predominately brick and rubble.

For health and safety reasons, APS Environmental reserve the right to “level” the waste on picking up the skip if it is deemed unsuitable for transit.
